The Bite:
Are your weekend plans starting to feel comically routine? Improvise a way to get to Pilsen (you can always hop the CTA) to check out the arty hood's galleries next Friday night - 30 of 'em will stay open late. Print a map online, then cruise by Biter faves such as Artpentry, home to Floyd A. Davis IV's functioning boom boxes made from vintage trunks and Under the Wire Art boutique for jewelry made from recycled maps. After, grab dinner at the stylish, new Nightwood - the menu changes constantly, but try the goat cheese gnocchi and MI-grown greens if you can - before you stand up and head home.
